Arriving in Heaven-

please read and review

Lucas woke up in a blurry inconstant state. He opened his eyes only to spot the white fogginess around him. He laid flat on his back on something. It wasn't hard like ground it was more soft, unearth like.

He sat up and looked around. He saw someone unfamiliar, someone that looked as if he were floating far away.

He squinted his eyes, closed them and reopened them. The floating person didn't disappear. It floated in front of him, looking him dead on.

"What the hell?" Lucas said backing up. He scooted, and somewhat crawled away from the person. They just stood straight though, not fazed by his fear.

"Don't fear me Lucas," the voice told him. The voice sounded masculine.

"How do you know my name?" questioned Lucas.

"I know all," the voice answered.

"Where am I?" he questioned.

"On you're way to heaven," he answered blankly.

"Ha Ha," mocked Lucas sarcastically. "Twisted dream right?" He looked around but all he saw was the floating guy and a swarm of grey puffs.

"No son, you died and moved on here," the voice corrected.

Lucas stared blankly at the man; he didn't know what to think. He just figured he was dreaming and the man was just a figment of his imagination.

The man began floating to Lucas.

Lucas's eyes shot open like beams, all he could focus on was the fact he was floating towards him not walking.

"My name is Darien, I'm you're guardian," the man told. He reached out his hand to Lucas.

Lucas shot up and began running away. He wasn't taking any chances; anyone who floated wasn't someone he wanted to get to know! The man was a crazy ass. He ran straight; all he could see was fog. He turned his head to see if the man was following him but he spotted no one. Instead he ran into something and fell back down. He looked up and there stood the man in front of him.

"Ahhh…" Lucas screamed backing up. "What in the hell are you?"

"I'm a guardian angel, I direct the weary souls to the gates," he answered. He didn't seem the least bit annoyed with Lucas, as stubborn as he was being.

"Prove it," snapped Lucas.

Darien lifted up his arm and Lucas felt his legs standing up forcefully. He now stood.

"How did you do that?" Lucas freaked looking down at his legs.

"I'm an angel," he smiled. "You'll be one soon too so don't worry."

"I don't like this dream," realized Lucas.

"I'm sorry you are not dreaming, that's for mortals," insisted Darien.

"Mortals, interesting word you use," laughed Lucas slightly nervous.

Darien held out his hand again to Lucas.

Lucas didn't return the gesture. He wasn't in the greatest of moods.

Darien took back his hand and smiled. "I understand."

"You understand what?" asked Lucas.

"That you don't believe yet," he answered. "It's a mortal trade."

"Well it was nice meeting you and all but my mom probably is freaking out because I haven't come home yet." said Lucas. "So see ya." He turned but now Darien faced the other way.

"Turning from me does nothing," whispered Darien. "I was once like you."

Lucas sighed. He pinched his arm, twisted it. Surprisingly he didn't wake up and what was more surreal is that he felt no pain.

"You were a good kid, I feel proud to be you're angel Lucas," insisted Darien.

Lucas stared Darien in the eye. He was starting to get the eerie feeling he wasn't dreaming.

"You're brother lived incase you were wondering," Darien whispered again. "You succeeded in saving him."

Lucas's head now pounded. He didn't feel the greatest.

"I'll show you if you want," Darien insisted.

"I don't know what you're talking about," yelled Lucas. "I'd appreciate if you left me the hell alone too." He held his head in his hands as it throbbed.

Darien lowered his head and stared at the ground.

Lucas's head pounded harder. His eyes watered, he saw something. It was Nathan. He was kneeling next to someone in the distance.

Lucas walked up closer and stared at his brother. Keith was there next to him. He still couldn't focus on the body lying on the ground. He had a feeling who it was though.

He watched as Nathan shivered and stared at the body on the ground. He didn't yell out for his brother, deep down he knew Nathan wouldn't be able to hear him. He looked back at Darien, his head was still down.

Lucas walked closer to the image of his brother and Keith. God he hadn't seen Keith since the whole Jules incident. Keith had been so mad at him!

As he walked closer he saw who the body was. His stomach curled, he felt like throwing up.

"Breathe," Nathan was crying.

Keith looked back at the ambulance.

"No!" screamed Nathan.

Lucas felt like crying now too.

"It should have been me," screamed Nathan. "I killed him."

"No Nate," cried Lucas. "Don't say that."

Keith grabbed Nathan in his arms, they cried as Lucas was taken away in the ambulance.

Lucas was crying hard. "No!" he screamed.

Darien lifted up his head and looked at Lucas.

"I can't be dead," yelled Lucas. "I'm only seventeen."

"Teenagers die too Lucas," Darien said sadly.

"I drowned last night didn't I?" asked Lucas.

"No, you drowned about a month ago," told Darien.

"How is my mom?" cried Lucas. "How is Brooke?"

"They are taking you're loss as to be expected," told Darien.

"I didn't get to talk to Brooke though, we were fighting, "cried Lucas.

"I'm sorry son," Darien told. "What's done is done."

"I have to go back, I need to see if they are ok," cried Lucas. He was now in full belief. "There has to be a way."

"There is but it's not a good idea," told Darien. "You need to move on, you're family will join you in time."

"No," yelled Lucas.

"Let me guide you," begged Darien.

Lucas didn't respond.

Darien let out his hand again. "Going back will only bring more pain, come with me."

"I want to see my family," yelled Lucas. "You can show them to me."

"I can't I'm sorry," whined Darien.

"You can you showed me that night, you can and you know it," yelled Lucas.

Darien frowned.

"Take me back please," cried Lucas.

"You can go back but they won't be able to see you," said Darien. "You'll be stuck there in a ghostly form."

"I have to talk to them," begged Lucas. "Please"

"I can't make you come with me," insisted Darien.

"I want to go back," yelled Lucas.

"I can let you, but I can't go back," told Darien. "It's against the rules."

"What do I do then?" asked Lucas excited for his second chance.

"When you're ready to come with me look for the light kid," told Darien. "The rest I'll take care of."

"They won't be able to see me though?" asked Lucas.

Darien nodded his head no.

"Is there any way to communicate?" asked Lucas.

Darien smiled. "You'll have to figure that out yourself."

Lucas accepted.

"Good luck, when you're ready remember to look for me in the light," he whispered.

Lucas nodded. "I can't believe this is all real."

"Just relax, close you're eyes Luke," told Darien.

Lucas did as he was told.

Before he knew it he wasn't in the same place like before, the fog was gone. Now he was face down on a bed. He looked up and saw the walls of his bedroom.

"GOOD LUCK," he heard Darien's voice echo in his head.

Dun dun dun… please read and review. If you're not into the whole ghost thing I'm sorry this story will have a lot of it. I had to find some way to bring back my Lucas.
